Rita, Raffaele and the teams from Easy Languages
About this episode

In this episode, we meet José, a polyglot from Bolivia who moved to Spain and currently studies linguistics, but only when he's not creating content for Easy Spanish.

We discuss how Spanish varieties around the world differ, and what is voseo. But most importantly, we answer the ultimate question for those who want to learn Spanish: which variety should you study?

Finally, should grammar be the priority when you learn a new language? Does grammar even exist? We share our views on these hotly debated topics and more!
